Charlie Arthur does most of his winning at Southwell and scored by a neck at the latter track last time while Sophosc won at Wolverhampton last month having earlier found Eagle One too good at the same track earlier. Ivynator also won on the Tapeta in October but was well beaten here subsequently so a chance is taken on RED FLYER, who went close at this venue when last in action and debuts for a new yard today.
